Discussion

After our unusually warm mid-December weekend, it’ll stay mild today ahead of an approaching cool front, but showers are likely later today and tonight as a cooler air mass pushes towards the east coast High pressure will return on Tuesday and control the weather through mid-week with cooler conditions, but still warmer-than-normal for this time of year. A much colder air mass is destined to arrive at the end of the week and the upcoming weekend will be far different than the one just passed; however, it turns much warmer again during Christmas week.
